Again Joy felt the chill sense of distance between herself and her old friend, but she would not allow aersclf to be disturbed by it now; she brought her whole mind to bear upon all that Roger Was laying be- orefher, and the end of the inter- view left her with a tolerably clear' I of what Thomas l'alkner's liberality meant for her. "And now," Roger said slowly, tying his bundles of papers together again, "we must decide what you had better do next. The position must be explained to Miss Martin- dale and to her stepmother. and I have no doubt they will be reason- able and let you leave them as soon as possible." "I shouldn't like to do anything to indonvenience them; they have been so good to me.

The name of Joy was what first at- tracted my attention. He told me of his sister, a little sister in Eng- land of whom he had lost sight, and that Joy was to be the name of his sister Marjory's child; and I began to wonder whether the Joy I knew belonged to the story. Poor old Mr. Ealkner, he would be :glad to. think I had found Joy for him; I think his conscience made him feel. sometimes that he ought not to have lost sight so completely of his sister 14larjory," "Marjory !" Lady Martindale 'laid her hand on Joy's shoulder with a pressure that almost hurt the girl at her feet. '4Did you say that the name of this old man's sis- ter was Marjory, and his naiile was Pall=-ner V' "Yes. His name was Tholnas, Ealkner, and his sister was called Marjory, That sister of his—Mar- jory—was Joy's mother." "Joy's mother!" The words dropped slowly, and with strange emphasis from Gertrude's lips;she put her. hand gently under Joy's chin and turned the girl's face to- wards her, that she might look in- to it with a searching steadfast glance. "But, of course, it can be only ,a coincidence,'' she ended quickly. "Falkner is net an un- coa>mon name, and I don't quite know why it struck me As strange. [—as remarkable."

Joy's eyes twinkled mischevious- ly, "Oh, Roger, did she say 'delight- ed' to see me, really and truly de- lighted ?" • ..Really and truly. delighted," Roger laughed. "My dear Joy, I do not want to imbue your mind with .any worldly wisdom, but in Aunt Caroline's eyes you are not at all the same person to -day that you were when you came to stay with her as Aunt Rachel's protegee. You aro a very rich woman to -day, a woman of. importance." "Fled is she delighted to have me there now I am rich, though she didn't want me when I was poor? How funny ! But, I don't think I should like to go and stay with Mrs. Moore, thank you, Roger. Please thank her very much indeed, and say" ---her eyes twinkled again — "say that I am going to make other engagements l" CHAPTER XVIII. I, "My • cousin, • Mr. Hassall, has come to tell Me something very won- derful," Joy said to Lady Martin- dale when, after luncheon, she and Boger were seated in Gertrude's boudoir. Violet was not of the lae.rty; as soon as they had left the dining -room she excused herself on the score cif another bad headache and went to her room not a little to the .relief of 'Joy, who felt that Li•o;er-s story would be more easily told to Lacly Martindale alone. "Something very wonderful? Then I hope Mr. IHassell's news is good news 9" and Gertrude looked from one sto the other of the young people with that rare smile of hers, which gave to her face such infin- ite charm. "I didn't want to , stay anything about it, at lunch, before Thomp son," .Joy went op;' "oven though there is nothing secret about it. I u, my uncle was no relation Rachel and Roger. You eLit not really any relation to th self." It was Lady Martindale' to look bewildered. "No relation to them y Perhaps you mean that ths uncle was your mother's b and that your. Aunt Reel your father's sister?" "I think, Joy, that Lady dale does not understand the. relationship to us is entirea adopted one," Roger iinterpo'l: and when LadyeMartindale utt an inarticulate exclamation of prise, he added --- "We ourselves are very ap 1 forget that Joy does not aCtm, ee belong to our family ; and she never known any relations excepts ing her adopted ones." i1 "Aunt Rachel and Aunt Prudence adopted me when I was a baby," Joy said, "and what Roger has just, told you is very trite. I don't thein' I ever remember that Idon't really belong to them—that I em not real- ly their niece. I wonder . whether. I ought to have explained to you when I first came that I am only an adopted child? I never thought of it. Perhaps it was not honest? Perhaps I ought to have said that 'Aunt Rachel gave me iny"name of Sterne? But I never remember that it is not my own name." The girl looked distressed; there was much genuine trouble in her; sweet eyes that Lady Martindale laughed softly and patted her cheek softly. "My dear, there was no need to tell me what, as you say, you your- self never remember. And if you have belonged to Miss Rachel Sterne since you were a baby, I think .you ahnost have a right to feel as if you were a, real relation of her and hers. Then this uncle who has left you his fortune is some one you have never seen?" "Sense ono I olid not even know existed," Joy replied ; "it is all like, a story in a novel. Roger came across this Mr. Palkner in Austras. lig, quite by chance, and gradual- ly the whole• truth has come out. Roger: must tell you the story, if you would like to hear it. It sort of fairy tale, and it is so won- derful to be in the middle of at. fairy tale one's self."

On the Farm I)AI1tY HINTS. The most profitable dairy cow is one that has no tendency to put on flesh, has a good appetite and a large stomach, indicating great consuming and assimilating capa- city, A cow with this conformation is said to be one of the true dairy type. Fodder corn is the staple rough- age for cows that give milk and when properly cured is a good sub- stitute for ensilage . The silo, how- ever, saves all the feed and the cows relish the ensilage better be- cause it is more succulent. Bad flavors in butter are often caused by the feeding. The wild onion or garlic in the pasture Will do it, as everybody knows, and so will musty fodder, spoiled ensilage and other similarly damaged foods. Turnips, potatoes and roots, if fed before or during milking, will also be apt to produce bad flavor. The rots do not contain much soliel mat- ter, being• mostly water, but they are highly relished by all elastics of stock, and the animals will -pre- . fer ill pre- fer them to grain, instinct prompt- ing them to accept such foods be- cause of their effect on the system. To produce strong and healthy heifer calves for future dairypur- poses their dams must lee fed gen- erously on nutritious feeds previ- ous to calving. The cow should be allowed to become dry -for from six to eight weeks previous to the birth of her calf. She will need this rest . from giving milk in order to build up her physical system and to fur- nish extra nourishment to the de- velopment of her calf. GROW SOILING CROPS. A splendid way to utilize more profitably that piece of land near the building, that is now growing up into weeds, is to plough it up after seeding and sow some crop that can be fed to the dairy cows and. young cattle when the grass becomes short this summer. We have all seen the caws drop low in their milk yield during the latter part of July and August, due to the shortage of grass during that danger from this kind of food can warm season. This can be over- easily be obviated by feeding after come by growing a patch of corn, milking. clover, a mixture of peas and oats, This common goat will eat only rape or white • turnips near the one-eighth as much food as a cow, yard, or pasture, and when the but will give more than that pro- cows show a fall off in the milk portion of milk.

My own strong feeling is that he probably died some time ago. Doctor Terson, who saw my aunts when they adopted Joy, spoke kindly and warmly of him, saying he was just a boy—a broken-heart- ed boy, whose wife's death had overwhelmed with grief. He seems to have left the lodgings in Guwer Street almost immediately after his wife's death. He even left his wife's trunk behind him, with all her clothes and one or two books. .By the way, Joy, you have the Bible and prayer -book, haven't you?"' where,' I believe, she e°!i should have--" I1 . ,hundred and seven Gow- et!

"Would' you mind telling me what was the married name of this—this Marjory Falkner--ef Joy's father's" she said; "Marsh; her husband's name was Jasper Marsh. I have been obliged to book up -their marriage certifi- cate, and I even travelled to Has- lemere, where they were married, and saw their names in the parish register there." "But" -Lady Martindale's voice that we grow some green feed to carry our cows over the -dry sum- mer season to the time when they will Have free access to the grain fields. It does nut require a large piece of land for these crops, as they are better for green feed it sown thickly, and consequently a small area will give you a large yield per acre, and many unsightly corners seen on several farms could be changed to profitable plots, giv- ing us, indired'tly, ,as great returns` as any"-ogieel sized pieces ,of: land • on the farm. she added quickly : "Perhaps you think I am asking impertine:it questions, but Presently i will ex- plain them. If you can prove all that you have been saying, it may make a difference to—so many lives." Roger, more Mystified than ever, was about to answer when Joy, re- turning, laid in Gertrude's lap a small Bible and a tiny prayer -book bound in silver. The latter she had opened, and the words ~mitten on the fly -leaf stared up into Lady Martindale's face. "Aunt Rachel is right; there is no name in either book." Joy said. as she laid the books down ; "but was still strained; • she seemed to perhaps the words that are written have some difficulty in articulating there"may be a clue." her words—"do you really mean to (Ty be continued.) tell me that Joy" --her hand rested against the girl's cheek—"that Joy," she repeated, "is the child of Jasper Marsh, and Marjory, his wife?, Are you sure of this ? Have you absolute proofs?" The searching nature of her ques- tion and the strangeness of her manner aroused Roger to the per- ception that something more than mere interest in Joy, as a protegee, was moving the woman who gazed et him with such startled eyes. "Have you absolute proofs of what you are saying?" she repeat- ed sharply, when Roger did not at once reply "The proofs we have discovered seemed to Mr. Deane and to me fairly conclusive," he. said, rapid- ly revolving in his mind the reason of -Lady Martindale's strong emo- tion. - "A.t this distance of time, and with no actual witnesses forth- coming, it is most difficult to find any proof that we can call quite conclusive . But the links in .the chain have, so far, fitted marvel - lonely well." EVEN A FUNERAL. "How could you be so cold to me?" "1 would die for you," sobbed his wife. "I know it," he answered cruelly. "You'd do anything to put me to expense." Mrs. Goodheart (to woman whose husband has jest been sent to jail for wife-beating)—"Why do you think your husband will miss you?"

"My dear Joy, I do not want to imbue your mind with .any worldly wisdom, but in Aunt Caroline's eyes you are not at all the same person to -day that you were when you came to stay with her as Aunt Rachel's protegee. You aro a very rich woman to -day, a woman of. importance." "Fled is she delighted to have me there now I am rich, though she didn't want me when I was poor? How funny ! But, I don't think I should like to go and stay with Mrs. Moore, thank you, Roger. Please thank her very much indeed, and say" ---her eyes twinkled again — "say that I am going to make other engagements l" CHAPTER XVIII. I, "My • cousin, • Mr. Hassall, has come to tell Me something very won- derful," Joy said to Lady Martin- dale when, after luncheon, she and Boger were seated in Gertrude's boudoir. Violet was not of the lae.rty; as soon as they had left the dining -room she excused herself on the score cif another bad headache and went to her room not a little to the .relief of 'Joy, who felt that Li•o;er-s story would be more easily told to Lacly Martindale alone. "Something very wonderful? Then I hope Mr. IHassell's news is good news 9" and Gertrude looked from one sto the other of the young people with that rare smile of hers, which gave to her face such infin- ite charm. "I didn't want to , stay anything about it, at lunch, before Thomp son," .Joy went op;' "oven though there is nothing secret about it. I u, my uncle was no relation Rachel and Roger. You eLit not really any relation to th self." It was Lady Martindale' to look bewildered. "No relation to them y Perhaps you mean that ths uncle was your mother's b and that your. Aunt Reel your father's sister?" "I think, Joy, that Lady dale does not understand the. relationship to us is entirea adopted one," Roger iinterpo'l: and when LadyeMartindale utt an inarticulate exclamation of prise, he added --- "We ourselves are very ap 1 forget that Joy does not aCtm, ee belong to our family ; and she never known any relations excepts ing her adopted ones." i1 "Aunt Rachel and Aunt Prudence adopted me when I was a baby," Joy said, "and what Roger has just, told you is very trite. I don't thein' I ever remember that Idon't really belong to them—that I em not real- ly their niece. I wonder . whether. I ought to have explained to you when I first came that I am only an adopted child? I never thought of it. Perhaps it was not honest? Perhaps I ought to have said that 'Aunt Rachel gave me iny"name of Sterne? But I never remember that it is not my own name." The girl looked distressed; there was much genuine trouble in her; sweet eyes that Lady Martindale laughed softly and patted her cheek softly. "My dear, there was no need to tell me what, as you say, you your- self never remember. And if you have belonged to Miss Rachel Sterne since you were a baby, I think .you ahnost have a right to feel as if you were a, real relation of her and hers. Then this uncle who has left you his fortune is some one you have never seen?" "Sense ono I olid not even know existed," Joy replied ; "it is all like, a story in a novel. Roger came across this Mr. Palkner in Austras. lig, quite by chance, and gradual- ly the whole• truth has come out. Roger: must tell you the story, if you would like to hear it. It sort of fairy tale, and it is so won- derful to be in the middle of at. fairy tale one's self."

On the Farm I)AI1tY HINTS. The most profitable dairy cow is one that has no tendency to put on flesh, has a good appetite and a large stomach, indicating great consuming and assimilating capa- city, A cow with this conformation is said to be one of the true dairy type. Fodder corn is the staple rough- age for cows that give milk and when properly cured is a good sub- stitute for ensilage . The silo, how- ever, saves all the feed and the cows relish the ensilage better be- cause it is more succulent. Bad flavors in butter are often caused by the feeding. The wild onion or garlic in the pasture Will do it, as everybody knows, and so will musty fodder, spoiled ensilage and other similarly damaged foods. Turnips, potatoes and roots, if fed before or during milking, will also be apt to produce bad flavor. The rots do not contain much soliel mat- ter, being• mostly water, but they are highly relished by all elastics of stock, and the animals will -pre- . fer ill pre- fer them to grain, instinct prompt- ing them to accept such foods be- cause of their effect on the system. To produce strong and healthy heifer calves for future dairypur- poses their dams must lee fed gen- erously on nutritious feeds previ- ous to calving. The cow should be allowed to become dry -for from six to eight weeks previous to the birth of her calf. She will need this rest . from giving milk in order to build up her physical system and to fur- nish extra nourishment to the de- velopment of her calf. GROW SOILING CROPS. A splendid way to utilize more profitably that piece of land near the building, that is now growing up into weeds, is to plough it up after seeding and sow some crop that can be fed to the dairy cows and. young cattle when the grass becomes short this summer. We have all seen the caws drop low in their milk yield during the latter part of July and August, due to the shortage of grass during that danger from this kind of food can warm season. This can be over- easily be obviated by feeding after come by growing a patch of corn, milking. clover, a mixture of peas and oats, This common goat will eat only rape or white • turnips near the one-eighth as much food as a cow, yard, or pasture, and when the but will give more than that pro- cows show a fall off in the milk portion of milk.

Lady Martin - .,dale's voice was very quiet now, quiet .with intense self-restraint; e.Sebrrect. If I could in her eyes was an expression that 'ills •landlady.,of 307, 'Roger .found it hard to., anterl7ret. "We cannot fled any t.raee of him at all. My own strong feeling is that he probably died some time ago. Doctor Terson, who saw my aunts when they adopted Joy, spoke kindly and warmly of him, saying he was just a boy—a broken-heart- ed boy, whose wife's death had overwhelmed with grief. He seems to have left the lodgings in Guwer Street almost immediately after his wife's death. He even left his wife's trunk behind him, with all her clothes and one or two books. .By the way, Joy, you have the Bible and prayer -book, haven't you?"' where,' I believe, she e°!i should have--" I1 . ,hundred and seven Gow- et! Did you say 307, Gow- eet2" Lady Martindale's Joked at the speaker with a ;d expression. e last letter Mr. Falkncr re - from his sister was written 007, Gower Street, consider - before the birth of her child. at letter mention was made of acne of Joy; she said that she )ger husband meant to give .child that name. She wrote a happy letter. Her marriage have been a singularly cloud - cafe " "Let me see them," Gertrude ring the whole of this speech ! said, and when Joy left the room, y Martindale sat watching ger, the expression on her face of strained, almost painful ex- c•.taney ; and when she spoke after a long silence, her voice had in it ax, nuriously hoarse" sound. "Would' you mind telling me what was the married name of this—this Marjory Falkner--ef Joy's father's" she said; "Marsh; her husband's name was Jasper Marsh. I have been obliged to book up -their marriage certifi- cate, and I even travelled to Has- lemere, where they were married, and saw their names in the parish register there." "But" -Lady Martindale's voice that we grow some green feed to carry our cows over the -dry sum- mer season to the time when they will Have free access to the grain fields. It does nut require a large piece of land for these crops, as they are better for green feed it sown thickly, and consequently a small area will give you a large yield per acre, and many unsightly corners seen on several farms could be changed to profitable plots, giv- ing us, indired'tly, ,as great returns` as any"-ogieel sized pieces ,of: land • on the farm. she added quickly : "Perhaps you think I am asking impertine:it questions, but Presently i will ex- plain them. If you can prove all that you have been saying, it may make a difference to—so many lives." Roger, more Mystified than ever, was about to answer when Joy, re- turning, laid in Gertrude's lap a small Bible and a tiny prayer -book bound in silver. The latter she had opened, and the words ~mitten on the fly -leaf stared up into Lady Martindale's face. "Aunt Rachel is right; there is no name in either book." Joy said. as she laid the books down ; "but was still strained; • she seemed to perhaps the words that are written have some difficulty in articulating there"may be a clue." her words—"do you really mean to (Ty be continued.) tell me that Joy" --her hand rested against the girl's cheek—"that Joy," she repeated, "is the child of Jasper Marsh, and Marjory, his wife?, Are you sure of this ? Have you absolute proofs?" The searching nature of her ques- tion and the strangeness of her manner aroused Roger to the per- ception that something more than mere interest in Joy, as a protegee, was moving the woman who gazed et him with such startled eyes. "Have you absolute proofs of what you are saying?" she repeat- ed sharply, when Roger did not at once reply "The proofs we have discovered seemed to Mr. Deane and to me fairly conclusive," he. said, rapid- ly revolving in his mind the reason of -Lady Martindale's strong emo- tion. - "A.t this distance of time, and with no actual witnesses forth- coming, it is most difficult to find any proof that we can call quite conclusive . But the links in .the chain have, so far, fitted marvel - lonely well." EVEN A FUNERAL. "How could you be so cold to me?" "1 would die for you," sobbed his wife. "I know it," he answered cruelly. "You'd do anything to put me to expense." Mrs. Goodheart (to woman whose husband has jest been sent to jail for wife-beating)—"Why do you think your husband will miss you?"
